Helping people stay safer online
Friendly, practical and easy-to-understand workshops that help people feel more confident using technology and stay safer online.
Why Cyber Safe Mate?
Technology has become an important part of everyday life, helping us stay connected with family, manage our finances, access important services and capture life's memories. But it can also be confusing and overwhelming.
Cyber Safe Mate provides friendly, practical and easy-to-understand workshops that help people better understand technology, recognise common online risks and feel more confident using it safely.
Whether it's protecting a mobile phone, recognising a scam message or learning simple steps to stay safer online, every workshop is designed to be practical, engaging and free from technical jargon. Workshops are designed for seniors and community groups, with no technical knowledge required.

Recognising and avoiding scams

New workshops will continue to be developed based on community feedback and emerging cyber safety trends.
Meet Your Cyber Safe Mate
Hi, I'm Andrew Smith, founder of Cyber Safe Mate.
I created Cyber Safe Mate because I believe everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of technology without feeling overwhelmed or left behind.
My workshops are designed to be friendly, practical and easy to understand, with a strong focus on helping people build confidence rather than simply teaching technology.
Every session is delivered in a relaxed and supportive environment where questions are encouraged, no prior technical knowledge is expected, and participants can learn at their own pace.
Whether you're learning how to better protect your mobile phone or simply looking to feel more confident using everyday technology, my goal is to help people stay safer online with practical advice they can start using straight away.
